Attendance:


Attendance is strongly recommended;it is essential to complete all assignments and keep up with topics as they are covered. You are responsible for all material presented, all announcements made, and all assignments given in every class, whether or not you are present. Keeping up with these items is your responsibility. Any student who is absent more than 14% of the scheduled class meetings (4 absences) may be dropped with a WF if the student has not submitted passing work on all assignments.

Tardiness and/or early departures:

Students are expected not to disrupt class when arriving or leaving. Arriving late is disruptive and disrespectful to the instructor and to your fellow students. Please arrive on time. If a late arrival or early departure is unavoidable, please be as discreet and inconspicuous as possible (i.e., INVISIBLE)..

Etiquette:

If you miss one or more classes, it is wise to communicate with me about your attendance and progress in the class. However, please don’t use class time to try to discuss these with me ; either talk with me after class or or send me an e-mail. When communicating about absences, please do NOT ask“What did I miss?” or “What will I miss?” This information is on the class schedule; it is your responsibility to stay up-to-date by checking the class resources online.
